Driver escapes injury after car flips in Dover

DOVER — After striking two steel red guide polls in front of a city hydrant on Oak Street, a sedan flipped onto its roof, closing Oak Street between Portland Avenue and Broadway Friday afternoon.

Crews responded around 1 p.m. at the intersection near Mr. Mike's on Portland Avenue on the Oak Street side where a driver had drifted off the road making a right hand turn in a green four-door Honda onto Oak Street and hit the poles near the hydrant.

The driver was uninjured and declined ambulance transportation on scene.

The fire hydrant, numbered “57,” was not damaged during the accident.

The vehicle was towed from the scene by Strafford Battery and Tire on Broadway.

Just before this accident, another crash took place at the opposite end of Oak Street at the intersection of Broadway when two cars crossed paths.

Sgt. Brad Gould said there would be no charges filed as the driver of the Honda had simply misjudged the right-hand turn.
